Hope all of you are well in this new normal we are living in! Being safe and practicing all that social distancing stuff. <br />
With the absence of any upcoming STLRUG event, I wanted to bring your attention to a great virtual event coming up put on by the Young Architects Forum of St. Louis (YAFSTL) and the AIA of St. Louis. The event brings one of the best speakers in the world on rendering in Revit with Enscape, and a good friend of the St. Louis User Group, Mr. Phil Read!<br />
<br />
The event is on Wednesday, June 24th at 6 PM. The registration link is below:<br />

All-<br />
<br />
I know many of us are still hard at work moving forward on our projects. While we are away and do not have the ability to converse with each other, I found a video from one of our leaders here, Brian Myers, about getting started in Navisworks over on LinkedIn.<br />
<br />
I thought it was beneficial as I am starting to look into Navisworks and BIM360 for doing more coordination and I hope it will be beneficial to you as well.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hopefully our new normal will not last long and we will be able to see each other again soon to resume our wonderful learning and socializing opportunities together.<br />
<br />
Until then...</div>

With the smell of the turkey and cranberry sauce behind us, it is time to get back to Revit before the holiday season.<br />
<br />
Come join us on December 5th, 2019 at ARCO Construction Company to learn more about BIM Execution Plans. We will have a couple of students from Washington University conducting a mock BIM Execution Plan meeting for their final exam. And then we will turn our attention to our own BIM Execution Plans. What is the language that has been helpful to have in your BIMxP and what has been detrimental or could have been worded differently to avoid ambiguity or confusion?<br />
<br />
If you have a BIM Execution Plan that you want to share before the meeting, email it to <a href="mailto:stlouisrug@gmail.com">stlouisrug@gmail.com</a><br />

If you are new to Revit Family Building, please see the download link below to a handout of Revit Family Creation basics that you should read and become familiar with before the event.

The benefits and prevalence of BIM (Building Information
Modeling) has grown. If your company hasn’t invested in it, it’s at least worth
getting to know about it. Its staying power over the last decade has
established it in the construction industry. Autodesk BIM 360 recently
published <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://connect.bim360.autodesk.com/benefits-of-bim-in-construction?utm_campaign=Connect%20%26%20Construct%20Blog&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=65122006&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9rinQ_SqxYETWy3Eo-Evsh4zr-wopi_ozf0Kz6L9MRBDD_He7o_sDx6GlNXWm9aTRaW5aCGi9RYDxISPX5Dc4_S9IGB6KWutRP_GqZxMuEk-L5QeY&_hsmi=65122006">Top

The AGC of America has been developing the BIM Education Program (Units
1-4 & CM-BIM exam) for almost a decade, and Missouri is lucky in that some
of the early authors of the program are still teaching it here. The program has been
fine-tuned, and the AGCMO is offering it again this year. <o:p></o:p></div>

The AGC of America BIM Program is returning to the AGCMO Construction Training School in March of 2019, followed by a group study
session to prepare participants for the exam. The CM-BIM certification test
will be scheduled at the testing center on a day/time that works for
participant schedules.</div>

<br />
I wanted to call your attention to an amazing opportunity coming in September of 2019.<br />
The 2019 BIMForum will be held right here in the great city of St. Louis! The event is planned for September 16-18, 2019 and will be held at the Hyatt Regency Downtown by the Arch.<br />
The call for proposals for the event is now open and this is a great opportunity to showcase how the St. Louis area is using technology enabled workflows and collaboration strategies to improve our delivery methods and build better facilities for our clients. This is also a great conference to learn how other firms across our country are improving their practices.<br />
<br />

building community is driving quantitative and qualitative outcomes through the
development of model-centric workflows that address the entire
design-build-operate continuum. In addition, we’re seeking to better understand the current cultural shifts and revisit the “human side of BIM” from
past </span></span><span class="gmail-m5716057560394864878gmail-spellingerror"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">BIMForums</span></span><span class="gmail-m5716057560394864878gmail-normaltextrun"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">. This will enable us to drive a better understanding of
leadership qualities and strategies needed to produce the return on investment
of BIM that comes from the refinement of traditional workflows and business
practices as well as the growth of collaborative project delivery strategies.

given to those presentations capable of demonstrating tangible examples of
how metric-based results were achieved within the areas of interest defined
above. Additional areas of interest are case studies on the following:</span></span><span class="gmail-m5716057560394864878gmail-eop"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>

We are going to discuss the gamut of possibilities for visualization of models created in Revit. We plan to break these techniques down into a menu of approaches based on the effort and expertise required to provide different levels of visualization for your clients.</div>

I know that if you are like me, it has been a very busy Summer season, with little chance to catch my breath! The Construction industry in St. Louis is booming and most firms are crazy busy right now.<br />
With that said, I know the STLRUG group has been pretty dormant since early summer.<br />
<br />
So we want to kickoff Fall with a Learning Event and then try to have one more Happy Hour before the holidays are upon us.<br />
<br />
The STLRUG October Learning Event will bring in an old friend of our group to showcase the latest technology used for Construction Layout using the Revit model as the base.<br />
Billy Marks from <a href="http://www.topconsolutions.com/" target="_blank">Topcon Solutions</a> will show us the latest workflows using the Revit Model, BIM 360, Autodesk Point Layout and a Total Station to derive layout points from any element contained within a model and demonstrate how that information can be sent directly to the field and used for Construction layout on site. This technology is becoming more mainstream, and will (in my opinion) eventually become the Standard for Site layout when models become a deliverable. This technology can save countless man hours in manual Construction layout.<br />
<br />
The Learning Event will be held on Tuesday, October 24th, 2017 from 5:30-8:30 PM.<br />
Hors D'oeuvres and Networking begin at 5:30 and the Presentation will start around 6:30.<br />
<br />
The Event will be held at KAI Design & Build, 2060 Craigshire Rd., St. Louis, MO 63146.<br />
<br />
If you are on the STLRUG mailing list, you should have received an RSVP invitation to the event.<br />
<br />
The RSVP website can found at the following link:<br />

<br />
Please plan on joining us, and bring a friend!<br />
<br />
P.S. - We will then try to schedule another Happy Hour event for November or Early December to wrap-up 2017!Chris Linkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02261483283056502967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896662829973029198.post-56163827014940540322017-10-03T14:04:00.000-05:002017-10-03T14:04:13.393-05:002017 AGC of Missouri Design & Construction Technology Conference<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
